Conversations with a Korean Woman

She told me she thought I was crazy.
I said I am.
So I told her my story.
Then she told me her story and said I'm not crazy.
This woman who I know not personally, but casually from work.
She's getting a divorce.  She's from Korea. 
A divorce there is not a divorce like in the U.S.
It's almost a sin. Forbidden.
So now her family thinks she's crazy. As if her happiness does not matter.
She went to Korea to tell her father.
She cried and I saw her cry.
She asked me to be her friend and come visit her when she's alone.
I said I would.
More conversations with a Korean woman to follow.
